Calendar days mixed up..
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm building a calendar-based program..
Having some difficulties with setting the calendar straight, here is my code:
Java Code:GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, 1); //setting calendar for the first of that month cal.setFirstDayOfWeek(1); nod = cal.getActualMaximum(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); som = cal.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); System.out.println("------------------------------"); System.out.println("Number of days in month: " +nod); System.out.println("First day of month is a (nr): " +som); //Draw calendar for (int i=1; i<=nod; i++){ int row = new Integer((i+som-2)/7); //(1+2-2)/7= 0.11 = 0 int column = (i+som-2)%7; //(1+2-2)%7= //System.out.println("Row: " +row); //System.out.println("Column: " +column); mtblCalendar.setValueAt(i, row, column); } //Apply renderers tblCalendar.setDefaultRenderer(tblCalendar.getColumnClass(0), new tblCalendarRenderer());
How come? Can someone get me some clarity in this?
Thanks alot!

Hello world! How is it going? Crazy busy? Yeah, me too! Just stopping by to share a little bit about the best concert I've been to this year. I got tickets on pre-sale thanks to a password I was given from a friend and it was the best thing that could've happen. Tickets were gone in less than two hours so I felt like I had just won the lottery or something. HAIM has been one of my faves ever since they were on SNL last year. I got their record for Xmas and it's constantly played in our home. The show was at the Wiltern which is already a pretty sick (in a good way) venue. Ok, back to the concert, the lights, their mixes, their performance, the music. It was the Best.Show. Ever! It really made me wish I had sisters and I knew how to play instruments besides just the tambourine (which I don't think it really counts, Ha!) If you ever have the chance to see these ladies live, do it! Your mind will be blown. Check out some of their music here if you haven't yet and let me know what you think. Happy almost Friday friends.

Legendary company's commitment to 'performance and prestige' a perfect fit as women's golf makes its long-awaited return to Houston this Fall
HOUSTON - When women's professional golf makes its long-awaited return to Houston this fall for the 2009 LPGA Tour Championship, it will be with the backing of a familiar and long-time supporter as Rolex was named presenting sponsor for the tournament today.
The 2009 LPGA Tour Championship presented by Rolex, to be held November 17-22, will feature a field of 120 of the top LPGA professionals in the world, a $1,500,000 purse, and a unique format that will see a cut after 36 holes to the low 70 professionals (and ties) and an additional cut after 54 holes to the low 30 pros (and ties)
"Rolex has a long-standing history as a supporter in golf, and women's golf in particular. We're thankful that they once again have demonstrated their commitment to the game at this important time as presenting sponsor of the LPGA Tour Championship," said Mark Steinberg, Senior Corporate Vice President and Global Managing Director, IMG Golf. "Rolex always has been synonymous with performance and prestige, making their brand a perfect fit for the LPGA Tour Championship which represents those same qualities for the players on the LPGA Tour."
Since 1980, Rolex, the official timepiece of the LPGA, has been a long-time partner and annually presents the LPGA's Rolex Player of the Year and Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year, based on a points system, as well as presenting a timepiece to members who are First-Time Winners on Tour. In addition, Rolex is a global sponsor of The Solheim Cup and in 2006 chose to title sponsor the Rolex Rankings for the world of women's professional golf. Rolex also provides the official time at selected LPGA Tour events and is represented by many LPGA Tour players.
"Our goal is to be associated with the absolute best in women's golf and to contribute to the development of women's golf around the world. This announcement reinforces the strong relationship Rolex shares with the LPGA. With all the talent in the global game today we see a strong future in women's golf," stated Mr. Bruno Meier, Chief Executive Officer, Rolex SA.
Today Rolex supports top sporting and cultural events all over the world. It is present at more than 150 events in the realms of golf, yachting, tennis, equestrian events, motorsports, culture and the arts, as well as philanthropic awards programs. Because of the commitment and continuity of these relationships, Rolex has established itself as more than a sponsor and is seen as a real partner.
The LPGA boasts a strong history in Texas, with some of the biggest names in women's golf winning tournaments including Nancy Lopez, Jan Stephenson, Betsy King and Annika Sorenstam. Apart from Houston hosting the Samsung World Championship in 2003, the last regular LPGA Tour event held in the city was in 1986. The 2009 LPGA Tour Championship not only marks the long-awaited return of the LPGA Tour to Houston, but also brings perhaps the most prestigious women's golf tournament in the area's long sports history.
"We're thrilled to showcase the game's greatest golfers in the sports-savvy city of Houston," said Marty Evans, LPGA Acting Commissioner. "The Houston fans and those who will follow the event around the world on television will enjoy the culmination of an exciting LPGA Tour season highlighted by a close battle for the Rolex Player of the Year award and emergence of a host of new and future stars."
The LPGA Tour Championship will be broadcast on the Golf Channel from Thursday, November 19 to Sunday, November 22.
The Houstonian Golf & Country Club, owned by The Redstone Companies, opened in November, 1999 and was designed by internationally acclaimed golf course architect, Rees Jones. Among its many accolades, The Houstonian Golf & Country Club was proud host of the 2006 Nationwide Tour Championship.

The Big Araia Project is still moving forward. Getting permission to film in my father's country is proving to be a rather complicated process. I am excited, however, because developments are moving in a positive direction. I would like to thank the following people for their continued support: Asmayit Yohannes, Mebrat Kidane, Mike Tekle, Jonni Tecle, Michael Richie, Meron in NY, Elinor Tesfamariam, Rahel Beraki, Fitsum Yohannes, The Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Rho Upsilon Chapter, and ever growing number of friends, and family.
As the anniversary of Eritrean independence approaches, I am reminded of how important it is for our people, especially our young people in the diaspora, to never lose focus on protecting and preserving our cultural heritage and identity.
Growing up away from community left me with a desire to repair the broken connection with my roots. For some of us in the US, Europe, and beyond, it is easy to get distracted with the hectic, individualistic ethos of the Western world. We must not forget to preserve what our people sacrificed so much for. Eritrea isn't just a set of lines on a map. It's a dream made real. It's that moment of love and fellowship you are sharing right now with your family during Fasika. It is that warm sense of community that takes over a room filled with our people, weather we are celebrating a wedding or just watching a movie in someone's living room.
My goal with film project is to create something that will encourage our youth to continue to embrace their culture. Sharing my own search for Eritrean identity is my way of taking part in that effort. Please watch the promo above and click here if you would like to support my endeavor.
The effort to get this project fully funded continues. This Saturday, Feb. 2, I will be hosting a party at Dahlak Restaurant in Seattle with DJ Hollywood providing the beats. Please come out and have a good time. I will also give a presentation on on my film project during the event for people who want to learn more. Party starts at 10 and the cover is $20. Please come and help an Eritrean dream come true!
Before I get into a long, protracted appeal for the viability of this project, I have a few confessions to make concerning the process of fund-raising for this film:
- I have never solicited for donations before. I actually hate asking for anything, so this has been an "outside of my comfort zone" experience.
- I know it's rather big headed of me to think anyone would care to see a film about a portion of my life story. I'm not famous for anything, nor have I done anything particularly remarkable to deserve to have my story on film. But hell, if the kids from Jersey Shore get five seasons on TV, you're watching my shit too.
- This is my first film. And yes I am qualified to pull it off. Plus my crew is THAT good.
- I know you mean well when you give me advice on how best to help my project. And you seem surprised when I am a little short with you. So, let's try a little experiment. I am going to come to your job tomorrow and tell you how to do it better…
- There is much about the making of this project I can't talk about in public. I have never gone through a pre-production process with any kind of geopolitical implications before, but it has required me to be reticent to a degree that I am not accustomed to.
- I know you are tired of seeing the posts on FB and twitter. I would be too if it were someone else doing it on my timeline. Then again, it's not like I don't know what your kids look like, you could try posting only one pic a week…
- My little cousin Feven in Atlanta finally made me come to grips with how important fame, no matter what the cost, has become in media. When asking me about my work she wanted to know if I had done anything famous. Not successful, not good, but famous…
- I spent $100 dollars raising the first $10,000 for this film and $,4000 raising the next $3000.
- It took me 8 months just to get enough headway in the Eritrean communities within the US to be able to raise a little money for the film. Many older Eritreans don't use social media very often. And while Americans will often donate to a cause based on a good web presentation, Eritreans want to see you in person and ask you a few questions first… OK lots of questions. LOL It's just a different cultural approach.
- I have been offered a few really big checks to make the film, but there were strings attached and I am not a puppet.
- I know money is tight these days, and I have been humbled by my friends with the level of kindness they have shown me this year.
- I honestly don't care if you think I have a big ego for attempting this. You can't BE a filmmaker with out having a big ego. You are attempting to make people see what you want them to see. It's an imposition of will. That's ego at its finest.
Making a film like "Big Araia" is, in many ways, a big mistake. When you consider that the current major media offerings we have to choose from place a high value on ignorant behavior and voyeuristic access to the most mundane aspects of celebrities lives, one would wonder where is there room for a film project that requires your brain to move beyond base pleasures and into the aesthetic. Simply put, "Why watch some Black nerd's potentially sappy and preachy African reunion when you can decompress after a stressful day at the office by watching Tia and Tamara buy baby clothes or stare in shock as you view two women argue about who gave better head to "Stebbie J" during the reunion special for a show called "Dear God I Hope My Daughter Isn't Watching This and Taking Notes!"
I'm a "creative", it's a catchall term for artists, filmmakers, musicians, and the like, but it suits me. It's what I do, I create. From my minds eye I can take the abstract and fashion it into a physical entity you can watch over and over again. I don't have to tell you about my thoughts and dreams, I can show you. For most of the last 100 years, people like me have been at the mercy of a few gate keepers, whose only concern is return on investment, the monetization of what was supposed to be a purely pleasurable experience. And, to a degree, it has to be that way.
Film-making requires large amounts of cash and those that can risk large sums on feature films are few and far between. But, the bi-product of this system is that those fortunate enough to have the resources to make a movie decide what gets made. So, their thoughts, notions, perceptions, and prejudices prevail over all that you see on the big, and small screen. I may have a great idea for a film, one that may become a surprise financial hit, but because the subject mater and presentation of such doesn't fit into the current paradigms of profitability, Hollywood is closed to me. All seems lost for the indie filmmaker. Especially for the creative person of color in the US. With no one in media's various seats of power that looks like us or whose thinking is divergent enough to test the uncharted waters of the Black Aesthetic mind, great films and TV shows featuring African-Americans are stillborn in the same delivery room that brings forth bragadocious, blond-weaved, bare-it-all buffoonery.
In this sea of cinematic despair, there is hope. Technology. The cost of production and access to the eyes of the globe are open to the artist of little means in a way people only dreamed of twenty years ago. The notion that I could create something, post it, and have it available for anyone to easily view at little or no cost is truly revolutionary. But there is a catch. With all this low cost access to the market that Black creatives like myself now have, we are now subject to new gate keepers, new kings of media. Only this time, I don't have to appeal to a rich few, I appeal to you. All of you. You have untold power in your numbers. A power to decide what you see and when you see it. Collectively, you have more power than any executive at a major film studio. One person with a fifty dollar bill isn't exactly an economic force, but 100,000 people with $50 is.
There is untapped potential in YOU. Never before have you had the kind of power you have now as an audience. Instead of choosing which finished projects you will spend your money on, you become the studio executive. Consumer as creator. That's power.
If you want to put that power into action, support this project. Let's see if we can beat the system instead of begging it to let us play. Click here to bring this project to life.
Thank you in advance,
Araia Patrick Tesfamariam
PS. If you want to really make a big move, support Chanelle in her quest to start her own online TV network. There are some really talented people trying to make things happen out here, folks!
It has taken quite a bit of time to make connections within the Eritrean Community in DC, but thanks to the help of some great friends, I am starting to make some progress in that area. I am having a fundraiser in DC ( My last one for that area) this Friday Nov. 16th at the Eritrean Cultural Civic center on 600 L St. NW. The party starts at 10pm and music will be provided by Delina Sounds. Admission is $20 to help raise money for the film project! If you want to know more about why I am throwing all of these events, click here -> http://bigaraia.com/?p=133
The effort make this movie a reality has been more than a journey. I know that filming in Eritrea will be an experience filled with emotion and self discovery. I was not prepared, however, for the level of gravitas that would be involved with the pre-production of this project. Today my mother and I had lunch with Michael Beyene, a very close friend of my father's I had only seen once since I was about 3 years old. The last time I had spoken with him in person was at a funeral when I was 14. I remember him being excited to see me then and wanted to get me connected with my people. But life, with it's various ups and downs, has kept us a part until today.
Before sitting across the table from him today, he was just a face I would see in my mother's old photo albums from time to time. I used to wonder what his name was or how he was connected to me. And now, sitting here looking him in the face after so many years, I feel that strange combination of loss, regret, happiness, and hope that has become an all too familiar sensation during my quest to learn more about my father. You could see it in his eyes and my mother's as well, a sense of grief all those years gone by disconnected coupled with the joy of finally being given the chance to help put the pieces of this scrambled family story together.
We spoke about many topics: my life after he saw me as a teen, his experiences with my father in Adi Kieh and in the States, and how he could help me with getting this project filmed. I have had to struggle blindly to navigate the intricacies of learning how to communicate with Eritrean community in the states and abroad, and I have had a difficult time understanding how to deal with the process of getting all the permission I need to film in Eritrea. Michael has offered to help with both of those challenges.
Meeting with him after all these years, along with recently hearing from a few other people in the states that really knew him, has helped reiterate something that I used to see only in my mother's reminisces about my father. Araia Selassie Tesfamariam was important to a lot of people, and when he passed away in 1978, the loss weighed heavy on the hearts of a lot of the people he had known. I never had those feelings. Having never met him, it is hard to feel the same sense of grief. My pain from his death manifests itself in a sense of separation from my people and their culture. When he died I lost a father, which is tragic enough, but in a larger sense I lost a people and a part of my identity. America is a dangerous place to be spiritually and psychologically when you don't know who you are, because it will start to dictate that to you if you let it.
I am looking forward to moving this production forward at a quicker, and more efficient pace. This experience, along with a great fundraiser thrown by my friend Michael Tekle in DC last week, have given me renewed energy. Included in this post are pictures of Michael Beyene's wedding in 1980, and one of our wonderful lunch today! Seeing my mom that young (she's wearing the long blue patterned dress in the second photo) is odd – we really do look alike. God bless and don't forget to donate to the film here -> http://bigaraia.com/?page_id=21 2000 people donating $25 makes this film happen.
I'm on Voice of Eritrea talking about why it is important to support this project. Please listen in! http://www.voiceoferitrea.com

Religious vs. spiritual: Study says the truly 'spiritual but not religious' are hard to find
by Matthew Brown, Deseret News
Published: Friday, Aug. 16 2013
by Ron F. Hale
In his renowned work on 16th Century Anabaptists, Dr. William R. Estep[1] says, "If the most obvious demarcation between the Reformers and the Roman Catholics was biblical authority, that between the Reformers and the Anabaptists was believer's baptism. Believer's baptism was for the Anabaptists the logical implementation of the Reformation principle of sola Scriptura."[2] Believers' baptism, by its very nature, eliminates any possibility of infant baptism.[3] "If you can show me a single instance of infant baptism in the Bible, I am defeated," was the repeated challenge by one Anabaptist leader whom I will mention in a moment.
Southern Baptists need to understand the theological tributaries that have pointed us to deep pools and simple truths through the years. As Baptists, we were dunked down under. We were not sprinkled or poured upon. "A little dab'll do ya"[4] was not the sentiment of the Baptist pastor that laid me back into a watery grave (Rom. 6:4) and raised me up to walk in newness of life at the age of 23. I went under, realizing that Jesus had already forgiven me of my sins through the shedding of His blood and the water baptism was my first step of obedience in following Him.
Why wasn't I baptized as a baby at the back of the sanctuary, thereby symbolizing the Roman Catholic position that baptism is required for "entrance" into the Church? Why wasn't water sprinkled or poured over my head as I leaned over a church font at the front of the church (next to the communion table) as it is done in many Presbyterian, Methodist, Anglican, and Reformed churches?
It is because some people paid a horrific price to help the Church recapture a simple but spot on understanding of New Testament (NT) baptism. They helped us acquire a "symbolic view" over a "sacramental view" of the things that Jesus asked us to do in His name. In 2013, it is easy for someone to shrug their shoulders and with pious groan say, "So what! What's the big deal?" Then why were thousands of Anabaptists burned at the stake, drowned, or tied to torture racks in the name of a state-run church? Dr. Sam Storms indicates that more than 5,000 Anabaptists were executed in Switzerland by 1535.[5]
When a Christian or groups of believers close their eyes to the biblical meaning and historical practice of this simple doctrine, then we must call into question their explanations on the deeper doctrines of the faith which were once delivered unto the saints. Intentionally ignoring the biblical meaning, mode, and merits of the practice of immersing a new believer adds up to theological malpractice. With just the NT Greek text book of Erasmus (ink barely dry), early Anabaptists were able to discern the lost ordinance of NT baptism. Just think of all the latest theological tools that are available today to study the meaning of "baptizo"[6] and the historicity of the Acts of the Apostles. Yet, tradition trumps the implicit instructions[7] and example of our Lord in many denominations.
Whether directly or indirectly, the work and witness of Dr. Balthasar Hubmaier[8] richly nourishes the theological tributaries of Southern Baptists and other congregations of like faith and order. Without men like Hubmaier, the Southern Baptist Convention would have never existed. In fact, had it not been for Hubmaier and other Anabaptists, the Church today would resemble the Catholic church of the 16th Century or the early years of the Lutheran or Reformed congregations in Europe. Far more serious than a tiff between theologs at a local Starbucks Café, these Radical Reformers entered into conflict with life at stake. The heavy hand of the state-controlled church put one's life on the line as someone acquired a biblical conviction that baptism should be withheld from their infant, especially when laws were passed making such an action worthy of capital punishment by decree of church and state
Balthazar Hubmaier never gained the popularity of a Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli. Anabaptist leaders did not live long enough to start schools of higher learning or write books on systematic theology for as the old saying goes – they stayed in "hot water" with the authorities. Most leaders stayed on the run as fugitives. However, Hubmaier lived long enough to instill in many the belief that the Church must free itself of governmental exploitation and control. As a "free church," it is comprised of believers who have confessed their faith through baptism. Since infants are incapable of believing, they were to be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This was a radical departure from Catholicism and the "covenant theology" of the Magisterial Reformers. And, that is why the early Anabaptists were put to death by both sides.
Dr. Hubmaier became the most capable 16th Century defender of the Anabaptist position on baptism; and, of the 11 books and pamphlets that he wrote on the ordinances, six relate to baptism.[9] He never grew tired of showing others that the baptizing of infants was never presented in the Bible. He once said, "What need have infants of another's faith – that of their fathers, mothers, godparents, or of the church? You claim such a thing, but with no basis in the Bible."[10]
Balthasar Hubmaier was arrested in the new jurisdiction of King Ferdinand[11] and was taken to Vienna and burned at the stake on March 10, 1528. Upon arriving at the scaffold, he cried out a prayer in the Swiss dialect, "O my gracious God, grant me grace in great suffering!" He pardoned his accusers and asked for forgiveness if he had offended anyone. Three days after his death, a large stone was tied around the neck of his wife and she was drowned in the Danube River.[12]
Given that early Anabaptists stayed in "hot water" with both the Roman Catholics and Protestant Reformers, today Southern Baptists can gather at baptisteries, lakes, rivers, and beaches to peacefully celebrate believer's baptism by immersion. I look forward to many conversations with these brave Anabaptist martyrs in eternity.

[6] The Greek word "baptizo" was brought into the English Bible without translation. The omega or "o" was deleted and the English "e" was added. Therefore the word was transliterated without trying to discover the true meaning of the word of which it is to dip, plunge, and immerse, to sink. The Greeks had a word for sprinkle (rhantizo), and one for pour (cheo), but (baptizo) was used for immerse.]
[7] In the Great Commission there is no mention of baptizing infants. John the Baptist did not baptize infants. Infants were not baptized by Jesus or his disciples. The NT shows that people were baptized "after" they believed in Jesus (infants can't believe). The NT shows that baptism is equally for male and female believers since it shows each being immersed, therefore, it does not correlate to the Jewish initiation ritual of circumcision where only males participated. The NT shows that immersion best pictures the death, burial, and resurrection Jesus Christ. The Apostles baptized by immersion.

"Love is ... not jealous; love does not brag {and} is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong {suffered,} does not rejoice in unrighteousness" 1 Cor. 13.4-6 (NASB).
After two words about what love does (exercises patience and kindness), above is the litany of how it doesn't behave. Have you ever known an envious, conceited braggart? Maybe some Little League kid's dad, or the person in the next cubicle at work. Nice picture?
Does your agape say, "Look at me"? If our works say, "Look how well I can love," then there's real question whether it's agape at all.
What's the personal perspective of envy and conceit? Obviously, self-centeredness, a spirit poles apart from outwardly-focused agape. Sometimes, entire churches become arrogant and conceited about its enrollment, its choir, its building program, or even that its pastor is prominent nationally.
Few Scriptures are more descriptive of what happens to the one consumed with self than Ezekiel 28.13-19, a passage symbolic of Lucifer's fall. Jealousy and conceit contributed to his fall, and look how far he fell. He's still falling. That's one catastrophic ego trip.
Don't trip and fall on your ego. Pray you keep the Lord Jesus Christ on the throne of your life. And ask the Lord to help you remember that, when you ascend the throne of your life, then you behave as did Lucifer. If Christ is your King, then the throne of your life is his. No one ever served the King by sitting on his throne.

Jesus' ministry was constantly confronted by religious leaders of Judaism, pharisees, who were responsible for the true worship of God from the heart. They had not repented themselves, however. They may have admitted they were God's chosen and looked down on the publicans and sinners because of their sinful past.
In reality, Jesus rocked their world by dismissing their false pretense of religion and saying the publicans and sinners would enter heaven before them because they had at least repented.
The pharisees' position was even more dangerous position than the publicans and sinners. They were in great danger because of their unrepentant heart. The greatest danger of hypocrisy was met with the call to repentance by John the Baptist when he demanded they repent, crying, "Who has warned you of the wrath to come" (Matt. 3:7b).[1] To be unrepentant before God is a dangerous position.
There are many dangerous ventures today: Cleaning windows on skyscrapers is dangerous. Skydiving is dangerous. Motorcycling (especially back and forth through traffic) is dangerous. Working around radioactive material is dangerous. Defusing a bomb is dangerous.
But an eternal danger, greater than all of these put together, is to stand before the Lord under false pretenses, thinking you are believer having repented of your sin, trusting in Christ to save you but really haven't done so. What will you do when you hear the sentence of guilty pronounced by the judge of the universe?
Jesus told a parable to illustrate the folly of pretending to repent when you haven't. He told of two sons whose father told both to go work in the vineyard. The first son refused to do so at first but then repented of going against his father's will and went to work. The second son said he would work, but despite what he said, he never did; and he never repented of not doing what he told the father he would.
The first son represented the publicans and sinners who refused God's will initially but later repented and came to God despite being looked down upon by the pharisees.
The pharisees were represented by the second son who said he would go work but never did. Despite their holier-than-thou attitudes, they were the ones in greater danger and would not be in God's kingdom because they never had repented. The story can be understood as we examine it in detail. There are several insights from this parable:
(1) Repentance is to offer more than lip-service to the Father
The publicans and sinners gave evidence of a life-change. Although disobedient in their sin initially, they still repented. It doesn't matter how lost you are, God will still accept a U-turn in your life.
Lip service is cheap. To know to do right and fail to do it however is a sin (James 4:17).
Sins of omission are just as great in their effect as sins of commission. An omission is like having a fire alarm that you were going to install and never installed, so your house burns down. Neglecting to install a functioning alarm to warn you and your family of the fire is the same as being responsible for its effect as if you had actually set the house on fire yourself. Neglect leads to destruction (Heb. 2:3).
It is easy to praise God here in church. It is much more difficult out there when the going is tough, when things aren't going well.
The Pharisees prayed long prayers (Lk. 20: 46-47) and were careful to observe the letter of the law. They were looked upon as the elite in Judaism and would make others lift heavy burdens to join their list of laws, but were mouth-professors without giving God heart-possession. Jesus rebuked them all throughout His ministry (Mk. 7:6, Luke 16:15, Matt. 23:27). They cheated their parents, ignored the poor, looked down on others, condemning them and not offering to help them. They omitted the fruit of the Spirit and they rejected Jesus as the Messiah. They were lacking in a very crucial condition: They had not repented of their sin.
You see, true repentance helps us to view sin as so repulsive that you wouldn't dare go back to it. Instead, you breathe the sweet air of God's forgiveness, are cleansed, and stay cleansed from unrighteousness. Yet, the pharisees had never known God in the first place.
(2) Repentance removes any false-impression of hypocrisy
Transparency removes hypocrisy. Pretending to be something when we are hiding behind a cloak of hypocrisy only covers up our sin even more.
Evangelical churches are full of people who do not exhibit the fruits of salvation, but who are not embarrassed to say they are Christians.
The pharisees who said, "I will go work in the vineyard," yet never did was an indication that their heart was not in the work to which God had called them.
Famous people have tried to minister in a lost condition, pretending or even thinking they had repented and were not saved.
Listen to John Wesley's sad testimony before he was converted: "My preaching was defective and fruitless, for from 1725-1729 I neither laid the foundation of repentance nor of preaching the Gospel, taking it for granted that all to whom I preached were believers, and many of them needed no repentance. I saw little fruit, but it was only a little and no wonder for I did not preach faith and the blood of the covenant."[2]
God saves people so that they will do good works (Acts 26:20) and live as His bond slaves (1 Thess. 1:9). Therefore, any salvation experience that does not turn a rebel sinner into an obedient servant is spurious. We are saying repentance must produce a change in nature, good works, the fruit of the Spirit and love for God, His word and the church, or it is not true repentance. If you have no repentance, you have no salvation.
Repentance involves: conviction, coming to the cross, and casting care on Christ.
People are first awakened with a sense of their miserable condition by nature, the danger they are in of perishing eternally, and it is of great importance to them that they speedily escape to get into a better state.
Jonathan Edwards said, "Those who before were secure and senseless are made sensible to how much they were in the way to ruin in their former courses. Some are more suddenly seized with conviction. Their consciences are smitten as if their hearts were pierced with a dart."[3]
Many don't understand what repentance is though. Some mistaken notions or incomplete statements about repentance are recorded by B.H. Carroll in his Interpretation of the English Bible where he lists several of these definitions:
Sam Jones: "Quit your meanness", D. L. Moody: "Right about face"; Alexander Campbell: "Reformation"; The Roman Catholic Bible of Matt. 3:2: "Do penance"[4]
John Miller in his book: "Repentance and the 20th Century Man," said, "Self-justification is the goal of this effort. In practice, this means that man always has one more scheme for getting things right with God and conscience. The sinner doing penance always says in his heart. 'Give me one more day, a new religious duty, another program, another set of human relationships or get a better education and then things will come right-side up.'"[5]
Carroll continues to review these misguided notions as: A. W. Chambliss: "Godly sorrow for sin;" Matthew 27: 3 in a common version: "Remorse of conscience." Many speakers and writers: "Restitution." M. T. Martin: "Knowing God and turning from dead works" (ceremonialism).[6]
People can be in the church and even have positions of leadership but have never repented and come to God's salvation in Christ. No life change has taken place in these individuals.
Someone has said, "People use mighty thin thread when mending their ways."[7] Repentance then is turning from sin to Christ and His sacrifice for our sins for salvation. In John's case, it was what Jesus was going to do.
John Calvin asked, "Can true repentance exist without faith? By no means," he says... "But although they cannot be separated, they ought to be distinguished."[8]
This is no small change of mind for it is a transformation of life. We are not prone to do this. It is God who changes our desires and actions. We begin to love the things of God, His word, and His church (Cor. 2: 14; Rom. 12:2).
A perfect example of repentance is the prodigal son when he came to himself and arises to go to the father (Lk 15: 18). The hymn I will arise and go to Jesus expresses this return to God when it says, "I will arise and go to Jesus / He will embrace me in His arms / In the arms of my dear Savior / Oh there are ten thousand charms."[9]
(3) Repentance Leads To doing the will of the father
The big teaching in this parable is the son who actually did the will of the father. God's will is clear in the scripture in I Pet. 3:9b, for it says, "God is not willing that any perish but that all should come to repentance."
To pretend you did the father's will and didn't do it is lying. We cannot whisk people into the kingdom of God and repent for them. We can show them the way but we cannot repent for them. To pretend you did the father's will when you did not is striving against God, and it will not be overlooked.
God is not cruel, but He is holy. He desires sinner's salvation Lk. 15:7. You can't carry your sin with you into heaven; you must repent of it. One day judgment will be swift and certain. In eternity, we will see God's mercy designed to lead us to repentance Rom. 2:4. The question is: Will we repent?
The publicans did God's will, although they may have been farther away from God in the bondage to sin. Yet, they repented and trusted God's salvation as pictured in the animal sacrifices in the temple and fulfilled in Christ.
George Whitefield illustrated why repentance is essential for a nature change and suitability for heaven when he said: "Let your old ways and be separated; you must resolve against it, for there can be no true repentance without a resolution to forsake it. Resolve for Christ; resolve against the Devil. If you were to be admitted into Heaven with your present tempers, and your impenitent condition, Heaven itself would be Hell to you. The songs of the angels would be as enthusiasm, and would be intolerable to you."[10]
(4) Repentance is necessary for coming into God's kingdom through Christ
Jesus said to the pharisees that in the coming kingdom, the publicans will be way ahead of you because they did the father's will and repented. You did not repent so you won't even be in the line. Think of the blow to the ego that was for the pharisees. They had been guardians of the law all this time and yet they were not even God's children. They rejected the Messiah and had not repented of their sin. So He said regardless of your standing, the publicans will go in before you.
But don't wait to be saved at the end. The end may be tomorrow and you are not saved. On his first trip to Georgia, George Whitefield encountered the cook on the ship who had a drinking problem and said he wanted to keep living as if he was and repent about two months before he died. He died in less than six days after he said that.[11] Don't wait like the publicans and sinners. Repent today!
Jesus said John came preaching the way of righteousness. He said, "Repent and believe on me and you have not."
Jesus told them that publicans and harlots who repent would be in the kingdom before the pharisees ever made it. Why? "You should have known who I was but did not turn me in repentance after you should have seen it in scripture."
Jesus said, "Don't try to figure out the justice in the cause of people's deaths," in Luke 13. If you do not repent, you will perish in eternity. And you know what? We will all perish; we all will go to hell unless we repent! Did you catch that? "Unless you repent, you will perish." This means there is a way out. There is a way we can avoid spending eternity in the fires of hell. There is a way to escape God's judgment.
We need to be careful in evangelism that we help people to understand trusting Christ as Savior involves turning from our sin and placing our faith in His sacrifice for our salvation. It is not just intellectual belief that saves. You need to place faith and trust in what Jesus did for you. People need to understand that trusting in Christ as Savior is a life-changing commitment that involves repentance.
John Miller said: "Modern men have burned themselves out with transitory experience-oriental religious, drugs, the occult, and sexual perversion. We must not invite them to embrace Jesus as the latest fad. Instead give them the full riches of God including the Lordship of Christ."[12]
Repentance is a part of another commission. The Lord Jesus commissioned believers to preach three things: first, Christ died; second, He rose again; and, third, repentance for the remission of sins (Luke 24:45, Acts 3:19).
Would we be happy with a cross-less gospel or a resurrection-less gospel? How, then, can we be content to preach repentance-less gospel?
The difficulty some have in entering the doorway to the kingdom of God is like the experience the little boy had when he got his hand caught inside an expensive vase. His parents were upset and they tried to apply soap suds and cooking oil without success. When they seemed ready to break the vase as the only way to release the hand, the frightened boy cried, "Would it help if I let loose of the penny I'm holding on to. So, it is all-too-often with us. We cause others great anguish and risk the truly valuable because we will not let go of the insignificant things we possess today.[13]
Whatever we grasp that keeps us from repentance is nothing compared to the benefits repentance and faith in Christ can give. Don't pretend you have repented when you have not. Let go of your pride or anything that will keep you away from God's best for your life. We need to need let go, come to God in repentance, and trust Him to change us.

Well, with DH's encouragement Monday I went to Boot Camp, got my butt kicked and loved it! Yesterday I went to another Hi/Lo impact and sculpting class that went for 90 minutes. I did most of the workout Lo impact since I couldn't jump anymore, but I finished both of them and they were HARD!! I'm so happy I could do it, I know this is going to make a difference and help me break into the 170's before August is up. Yey!!!:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

I know it was delayed at least, or I hope that's all it is. I was hoping to get it, but it is missing from PSN. Nobody has really followed up much on this and have basically pretended like it's out.
Is it still coming? If so, when?
If I have to wait too long I might just get it on Wii U. Kind of wanted the crossplay/crossbuy, but I guess I can just play on the gamepad of Wii U if I really have to.

What is LocalFest?
LocalFest is a celebration of all things locally made.The third annual event, scheduled for Saturday, September 6, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., takes place at the historic Shirt Factory at the corner of Lawrence and Cooper Streets in Glens Falls, New York.

Today the building continues this tradition of artistry and excellence by providing a home to more than 80 artists and artisans' studios, shoppes, galleries and creative and healing services.
Glens Falls is truly a unique city in that it has a strong history of manufacturing that continues to contribute to and shape the community. The current national trend of shopping locally is embodied by communities like Glens Falls which not only features many independent businesses but also boasts a number of manufacturers who create value right here in the City, just as the McMullen-Leavens Company did from 1902 to 1976.

Any suggestions for efficient and effective but non-toxic and reasonably priced insulation for the area between a brownstone's top floor and the flat roof? I've been researching it and it seems there was some dialogue about cotton batt (recycled denim) a number of years ago, and then there is the question whether wet or dry cellulose is appropriate under a flat roof both in terms of risk of mold and losing its insulating properties if wet cellulose doesn't dry properly before being sealed up, or if dry cellulose gets wet (if that is right) not to mention that it seems cellulose is much pricier than fiberglass insulation. I'd be interested to know what others have done. This is for a 100+ year old brownstone in New York City. (PS - I saw the helpful thread on cellulose vs. fiberglass and plan to read that again, but this is a slightly different angle I think) |

Do you have access to the roof? Have you thought about growing grass? |
- Posted by dreamojean (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 11:38
weedmeister, thanks for the suggestion - it's not a truly flat roof in that there's a crawl space and it's "flat" vs. sloped but growing grass wouldn't have the RV value we would need in our northeast climate. we are in all likelihood going with dry cellulose for the crawl space, installed via cutting holes in the roof and then installing vents to protect against moisture, according to an insulation company that specializes in cellulose insulation |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 14:53
what about foam insulation? ps crawlspace is under house |
- Posted by dreamojean (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 15:02
The insulation company told us that foam is fairly toxic so that isn't a great option if you're trying to be green, vs. cellulose which is basically torn up paper (then you have possible dust issues); now, this insulation company just does cellulose so it's not like they offer all options and discuss them with customers, so they would be anti-foam, but still. By crawlspace I meant to say cockloft/attic, in our house the attic space varies depending on location, in some places it's 24" and in others it's 48", since it's on a slope (fairly typical in old brownstones in NYC, I hear), so you can't walk around in there, and have to blow insulation in or use batts. (you can go from the ceiling or the roof to get access) I'd be curious what other peoples' take is on foam insulation and how "green" it is. By "green" i mean, both non-toxic and also having a good insulation "R" factor so that it actually works. |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 16:21
foam does two things. air seals and insulates. insulation with air moving through it does little to insulate. by combining the two, foam is a good product. as I believe that green is 80% conservation cellulose is ground newspaper with a fire retardant I'm sure others will come along with disadvantages spray foam (sf) comes in either closed cell, or in my hot humid climate..we use open cell. you'll get biased information from salesmen/women. by googling foam..you get lots of info. just contacting an energy rater in your area would give check with www.resnet.us for energy raters in and don't insulate until you air seal. things like if you have ductwork in the attic space, mastic seal best of luck. |

Eager to change the subject back to Obama's economic stewardship after nearly two difficult weeks focusing on immigration, Romney accused Obama of taking his eye off the ball when he pushed the healthcare measure through Congress in 2010.
"Instead of focusing on the big issue, the economy, he focused on his healthcare reform, called Obamacare," Romney, set to challenge the Democratic president in the Nov. 6 election, told a crowd at a machinery manufacturer in Salem, Virginia.
At the mention of "Obamacare" - the derisive nickname critics have given the law - the crowd erupted in boos.
The Supreme Court is scheduled on Thursday to rule on a legal challenge posed against the law by 26 of the 50 U.S. states and a small business trade group that argued the measure violates the U.S. Constitution.
Romney said if the high court justices deem the law unconstitutional, "then the first three and a half years of the president's term will have been wasted on something that has not helped the American people."
"If it stands, we are going to get rid of Obamacare and I'm going to stop it on day one," Romney added.
The 2010 law, which constitutes the U.S. healthcare system's biggest overhaul in nearly 50 years, sought to provide health insurance to more than 30 million previously uninsured Americans and to slow down soaring medical costs. Critics say it meddles in the lives of individuals and in the business of the states.
The justices could uphold the law, strike down certain provisions or overturn the whole thing.
Romney enacted healthcare changes as governor of Massachusetts that bore similarities to the law Obama signed. But Romney argues that the federal law is killing jobs.
Romney's aides on Tuesday circulated a report, first published last year, in which a medical device manufacturer asserted that the 2010 law would cost the company so much in additional overhead costs that it might have to ship thousands of jobs overseas.
Romney in recent days has been tied up with the issue of immigration and has struggled to lay out an immigration plan.
He appears to have been caught flat footed by Obama's announcement on June 15 that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who were brought into the United States as children could be able to avoid deportation and get work permits. Most illegal immigrants in the United States are Hispanics.
In response, Romney accused Obama of political motivation in making the policy change, but declined to say he would repeal it if elected.
Romney also was cautious in reacting to Monday's Supreme Court ruling upholding a portion of Arizona's state crackdown on illegal immigrants while striking down other parts of the law.
Looking more comfortable on Tuesday, Romney stood in front of a banner stating, "Putting Jobs First." "Do you think Obamacare is working just fine to get the American people back to work?" he asked people in the crowd. "No!" they yelled back.
Romney's own record on job creation was challenged by Vice President Joe Biden, who accused him of devastating entire communities as a private equity executive in the 1980s and 1990s who shipped U.S. jobs abroad.
"Like so many other things the governor talks about, there is a huge disconnect between what he says and what he means and what he's done," Biden told supporters in Iowa, referring to Romney's time as head of the investment firm Bain Capital.
Citing a Washington Post report, Biden said Romney's former firm helped move American jobs overseas.
"They made a great deal of money facilitating this outsourcing and offshoring American jobs. Yeah, they made a lot of money. But in the process they devastated - they devastated - whole American communities," he said.
Obama and Romney are running close in opinion polls, with a PPP survey in the battleground state of Ohio showing the president with a lead of 3 percentage points, down from 7 percentage points a month ago. (Additional reporting by Laura MacInnis in Washington; Editing by Will Dunham)

The young company (started in January 2000) has already made a big impact on the industry. To be approached by Intel along with companies like Discreet, Avid|SOFTIMAGE, and NewTek in such a short time, is rather impressive. The new Itanium processor should begin deployment in late 2000 or early 2001, just as pmG previews its new messiah:studio package, consisting of the messiah:animate 3.0 standalone 3D animation package and messiah:render, the company's new global illumination and radiosity renderer, with enhanced surfacing tools. Lyle Milton from pmG commented that, "Itanium is the platform of the future.

The Department of Justice charged Wang Dong, Sun Kailiang, Wen Xinyu, Huang Zhenyu, and Gu Chunhui, five members of China's People's Liberation Army, with economic espionage. The five are accused of hacking American companies including Westinghouse, United States Steel and Alcoa.
The five reportedly worked as members of the "Comment Crew" or "Shanghai Group" at a 12-story white office tower on a Chinese Army base in the outskirts of Shanghai. Last year, the building was identified as the source of multiple attacks on the U.S. government and American corporations.
Since there's a better chance of the Cubs winning the 2014 World Series, Kim Jong-un becoming a world class sprinter and the Tea Party endorsing Hillary Clinton for president than these Chinese soldiers coming to the United states and standing trial, what's the point? To get somebody's attention or maybe to get everybody's attention both here and in China.
In Michael S. Schmidt's New York Times piece, John Carlin, an assistant Attorney general for national security, talked about the damage done by Chinese hackers. "He said that while SolarWorld was rapidly losing its market share to Chinese competitors that were pricing exports well below costs, the hackers were stealing cost, pricing and strategy information from SolarWorld's computers. And while Westinghouse was negotiating with a Chinese state-owned enterprise over the construction of nuclear power plants…hackers stole trade secret designs for components of those plants."
